GOYA Y LUCIENTES, Francisco de
(b. 1746, Fuendetodos, d. 1828, Bordeaux)

You'll see later (Después lo veras)

1803-12
Indian ink and pen on pink paper, 266 x 187 mm
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

This sketch shows a burly lower-class man drinking greedily from a leather bottle. Ha has clearly been arguing with his wife, and Goya shows a moment of discord and dramatic action. With just a few precise brushstrokes and without any prior drawing, Goya conveys an emotionally charged expression.
